PAR AI Core

Par AI Core

Description

Par AI Core is a Python library that provides a set of tools, helpers, and wrappers built on top of LangChain. It is designed to accelerate the development of AI-powered applications by offering a streamlined and efficient way to interact with various Large Language Models (LLMs) and related services. This library serves as the foundation for my AI projects, encapsulating common functionalities and best practices for LLM integration.

Technology

• Python
• LangChain

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• UV package manager
• API keys for chosen AI provider (except for Ollama and LlamaCpp)
  • See (Environment Variables)[#environment-variables] below for provider-specific variables

Features

• Simplified LLM Configuration: Easily configure and manage different LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and models through a unified interface.
• Asynchronous and Synchronous Support: Supports both asynchronous and synchronous calls to LLMs.
• Context Management: Tools for gathering relevant files as context for LLM prompts.
• Output Formatting: Utilities for displaying LLM outputs in various formats (JSON, CSV, tables).
• Cost Tracking: Optional integration to display the cost of LLM calls.
• Tool Call Handling: Support for handling tool calls within LLM interactions.

PARAI Related

• PARAI_AI_PROVIDER is one of Ollama|OpenAI|Groq|XAI|Anthropic|Google|Bedrock|Github|LlamaCpp
• PARAI_MODEL is the model to use with the selected provider
• PARAI_AI_BASE_URL can be used to override the base url used to call a provider
• PARAI_TEMPERATURE sets model temperature. Range depends on provider usually 0.0 to 1.0
• PARAI_TIMEOUT length of time to wait in seconds for ai response
• PARAI_NUM_CTX sets the context window size. Max size varies by model
• Other PARAI related params are to tweak model responses not all are supported / used by all providers

Open AI Compatible Providers

If a specify provider is not listed but has an OpenAI compatible endpoint you can use the following combo of vars:

• PARAI_AI_PROVIDER=OpenAI
• PARAI_MODEL=Your selected model
• PARAI_AI_BASE_URL=The providers OpenAI endpoint URL
